You're right of course, Archie, August 5th in 2010 was the day of the constitutional referendum in Kenya. How could I overlook this... President Obama sends his regards...

Hi and thanks for your question.

Wasnt that day the voting day for the Kenya Referendum and consequently everything was closed to allow people to vote??

Hi Gicheru,

No, August 5th doesn't appear on any list of official holidays. Several sites have such a list, see e.g. here...

Hope this helps,
